Chapter 116 The best equipped platoon in the whole brigade
Just as Kong Jie was about to explain, the brigade commander raised his hand to stop him and planned to continue listening.
"Battal Commander, our independent regiment has strict military discipline. I dare not commit crimes against the enemy. I was punished by the regiment commander for leaving some bastard boxes!" Tang Bing explained quickly.
"I didn't say you violated discipline. Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Yuanchang asked.
"It's just a little strange. You used to look down on the bastard's box, but now when you see those pistols, it's like seeing a treasure. You want to put them all in your pocket!"
The brigade commander looked forward to it, thinking that the good thing Xiao Yuanchang was talking about was some kind of treasure.
The result turned out to be a batch of bastard boxes that even he looked down upon. The look of expectation on his face immediately turned into disappointment, but he also wanted to know the reason why Tang Bing did this.
In the Japanese army, in addition to the 38 big cover, the bastard box is the most equipped weapon.
Officers above the squad leader level, machine gunners, grenade launchers, artillerymen, heavy machine gun shooters... will all be equipped with a bastard box for self-defense.
If you wipe out an infantry squad, you can capture four or five pistols.
If you kill a specialized artillery and heavy machine gun unit, you will capture even more pistols.
In the past, the main force would give these pistols to local troops, but I didn't expect that Tang soldiers would be interested in them.
"Battal Commander, I think the tortoise box can play a huge role on the battlefield if used properly, and it can also save lives at critical moments!" Tang Bing began to explain.
"I want to give those pistols to all squad leaders and veterans."
"When you are fighting with the Japanese on the bayonet, you suddenly draw out your gun and shoot the opponent at close range. You can kill one Japanese with one pistol, and the bastard box equipped by the whole company can kill twenty or thirty Japanese in an instant."
"If the Mauser pistol equipped by the company platoon leader kills some Japs, an infantry squad will be almost killed!"
"Not only can it demoralize the Japanese and puppet troops, but it can also reduce the pressure on the troops to fight with bayonets!"
"The enemy's bayonet formation in groups of three is particularly difficult to deal with. Normally, even our squad of soldiers can't get close!"
"If one or two soldiers were equipped with pistols and saw the opportunity to kill a Japanese, their bayonet array would be broken..."
"If our soldiers swarm up again, we can easily kill them!"
When Tang Bing introduced it, everyone was imagining war scenes in their minds and analyzing whether the bastard box was really that powerful.
Xiao Yuanchang spoke again: "The bastard box is so useful, why didn't you look down on it before?"
"I didn't know this before. I fought an ambush with the assault platoon in enemy-occupied areas. Platoon Leader Huang told me!"
"I didn't believe it at first, but then one squad of the assault platoon used bayonets and bastard boxes to kill eight or nine little Japs, and their own casualties were zero!"
"I've been collecting tortoise boxes ever since!"
"The ten squad leaders of the fifth company have all been equipped with bastard boxes. More than 20 pistols were seized in this ambush. I plan to equip the veterans in the company and strive to equip each squad with three pistols!"
"Have you ever tried it on the battlefield?" Xiao Yuanchang's expression became more and more serious, and he obviously took this matter very seriously. He stared at Tang Bing and continued to ask.
"I tried..." Tang Bing replied confidently.
"Today we were conducting an ambush. On the way to attack, we encountered a dozen little devils who wanted to fight..."
"In the past, we would have lost at least one infantry squad when fighting so many Japanese with bayonets!"
"As a result, as soon as they formed four bayonet formations today, the four squad leaders in the company pulled out box cannons and fired at them fiercely, killing six Japanese on the spot..."
"While the Japanese were in chaos and before they formed a new bayonet formation, our troops swarmed forward. Four or five soldiers dealt with one person and killed them all in an instant, with less than five casualties!"
"I plan to try it a few more times to make sure that the pistol and bayonet can really resist the Japanese three-man bayonet array before reporting it to the battalion headquarters. You will know the result now!"
"No need to try! Let's analyze it in our heads and we will know that this style of play is effective..." Xiao Yuanchang made a decision immediately.
"Don't keep the pistols seized this time. Equip them all with the squad leaders of the 4th and 6th companies and the recruit companies!"
"Next time, I'll equip the veteran after I seize the pistol!"
Tang Bing was a little reluctant to part with it, but he still answered readily: "No problem, I will send those pistols to the battalion headquarters soon!"
"Let's continue the meeting!" Xiao Yuan said back to business.
At this time, the brigade commander had already left the Second Battalion headquarters with Kong Jie.
Although I didn't harvest the rumored private goods, I overheard a good way to crack the Japanese bayonet array.
As he walked, he explained to Kong Jie: "You have to keep an eye on whether a pistol and a bayonet can really break through the enemy's bayonet array, and report it to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible after confirmation!"
"My analysis should be true, but I need you to come up with real evidence!"
"If it is really useful, the tortoise boxes that are seized in the future cannot be thrown away to the guerrillas and local troops like before!"
"Next, go to the assault platoon station..."
"The method of fighting with bayonets and pistols was first proposed by Huang Yu. You must go and see this great hero!"
The assault platoon had a full strength of 50 men. Three were wounded during the attack on the cavalry squadron, leaving 47 men left.
When the brigade commander came over, Huang Yu was doing gun aiming training.
This was a problem he discovered when he ambushed a cavalry squadron.
The shooting distance was less than 50 meters. The enemy was riding on a war horse. The target was so conspicuous. Not only would he hit the target 100 times, he would definitely have a hit rate of 80% to 90%.
As a result, the hit rate of the entire assault platoon was only 60-70%.
Half of the horses killed were from the assault platoon.
After analysis, Huang Yu concluded that there were too many new recruits in the assault platoon. Although the recruits had completed their training long ago, they were still very different from the veterans in the team.
If they want to improve their marksmanship, they can only continue to strengthen training, practice makes perfect, and integrate the most standard shooting movements into their bones to form muscle memory...
There was nothing special about the training. The brigade commander took one look and turned his attention to their equipment.
They were all wearing new military uniforms, with an armed belt seized from the Japanese tied around their waists, with bullet boxes and a bastard box holster hanging on it.
Either holding a 38 cap or holding a submachine gun in his hand...
Each infantry squad is equipped with a crooked handle and a grenade!
In addition to the machine gunner and grenade launcher who are equipped with a self-defense pistol, the deputy shooter is equipped with the same equipment as other soldiers. He holds a 38 cover in his hand and a bastard box hanging on his waist, and they conduct gun training together.
The only difference is that they have three more ammunition boxes hanging on their waists than ordinary soldiers...
The brigade commander's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"The assault platoon is definitely the best equipped platoon in our brigade..."
"Kong Jie, I didn't see such good equipment in the second battalion just now!"
"If the equipment of the assault platoon is placed in other units, it can arm at least one company!"
"This is a bit unfair! Aren't you afraid that the other battalion commanders will have opinions?"
